Session Description

Last year I blogged about this in reaction to the E2Conf. http://www.gilyehuda.com/2009/07/09/spark-a-fight-in-the-e2-0-community/ We have an awful lot of emotions tied up into these issues. Is E2.0 a crock? Should we use the word "Social"? Are we anti-Email? Is RSS dead? Is Twitter and E2.0 technology? etc.

I think it's time we run a resolution session. Vote for this session and we'll do the following: For each debate question we'll articulate both sides of the issue and then we'll have you vote for the side you agree with. It will be fast-paced since we have lots to talk about. But it will be fun!

Jon Ingham - Dec 18, 2009

Perhaps a final session to wrap-up and summarise the issues covered in the conference (obviously including these but hopefully more besides)?

Gil Yehuda - Dec 19, 2009

Jon sounds like a great idea. I know the conference wraps up with a "town hall" to discuss the conference itself (what worked, what we should do next time, etc.) But (if people vote for this, which I hope you do), then we can use this as a therapeutic session to hash out some of the tough, stinging questions that raise people's blood pressure. Yes, if we get this on the list, let me ask that we position this near the end of the conference -- as you suggest.

The result of which could be a better sense of what to take with us when we go back "to work" after the conference.
